State of My Union

I'm still doing great and feeling well and the fact that my wife is healing nicely from her recent shoulder/collarbone surgery is a huge relief to all. Not much going on in my life but the normal humdrum of everyday, the boys are being young and incredibly dumb, Ty got his first speeding ticket, 5 weeks into owning his drivers license! Braz is still unemployed and using and abusing his low self esteem GF Nikki Noodles, love that little girl but she is a moody little girl and never know which girl is coming to visit? Work is great, the summer is awesome and the diet is going great ! My ambition is to lose 60 lbs by March timeframe and the New York trip, I will do this and feel good already having lost 10-12 lbs and working harder at the gym and at the dinner table. Still following my dodgers and finished up the Tour De France and all its glory. The Motorcycle season is closing down and am somewhat unsettled as to the direction the new organization is taking, i fear that it will lose its best racers to its lack of focus and vision for the future, Mat Mladin my true hero and champion of racing and strong opinions has come right out and said he has lost interest and hope and can't wait for the season to end at this point, this being said with a 100 plus point lead in the championship. This troubles me but maybe there will be a new star riding in his own camp with him as we speak. World superbike is doing well and Ben spies is coming on strong, the American is kicking ass and taking names and with the exception of a few crashes ,some not his fault he would be way in the lead in that championship, but he is a few points behind and should take the lead after the next 2 races for sure. My interest in my GSXR is high right now, the weather is right, the roads are free and I can't ever wait for the weekends to get on the bike and ride the hallowed local canyon roads in my own backyard. Yes, all is well in my world and Mom is even getting better after bouts with hospital visits for her ongoing BP problems and kidney issues,but there is a cure in sight and I am happy for that, yes all is well and i feel somewhat fortunate for feeling so good and enjoying life as I know it should be enjoyed. Not much to complain about in my world, for if there was I would just fix it. as far as the rest of the world, they can go get fucked with their stupidity and narrow mindedness and closed off thought process, i swear everybody s a bible thumping Republican or something, but the world is one of those can't control, don't sweat it kind of propositions and cannot be too engrossed with its' issues and only rant about my displeasure's to vent and wish everybody had things easier and simpler for sure. Yeah what we find as newsworthy is somewhat disturbing to me, we still talk about racism about police officers arresting a black man we still speak of Talentless starlets who date athletes then break up and think its important and newsworthy,it's Not! And we still somehow lose in the muddle the important things like Health reform and world politics in the middle east which generally start most of the worlds' conflicts, yeah these things piss me off and wish the magic wand of the Gregasaurus could make it all right, but I can't ,so i don't and leave the world to fend for itself, I can control my world and do so rather well -thank you very much!

Post Op

The surgery on my wife went well and the recovery has begun. with Much pain and discomfort and many attempts to get comfortable wherever she sits. But being a work in progress time is our best friend and with each passing day come a healthier shoulder and collarbone healing by the minute! Each day brings her more movement and more self therapy and exercises to make it mobile once again. She has the boys and her mom hanging out with her dudring the day when I'm at work so i'm at ease with her being taken care of well. A big load of worry is off our minds and now we can look forward to being healthy for our New york trip this upcoming Spring break. Good Times Indeed!

Wifes' Surgery

Tomorrow is the long awaited once cancelled surgery for my wife, her collarbone and rotator cuff need surgical help to get her back on trach. Originally scheduled for the 12th of June she had to cancel as she caught a cold and they would not do it. So the 21st July is the date and that is tomorrow so I keep positive thoughts and hope that she comes out fine and that her recovery is as quick and painless as possible for my wonderful wife. I would be lying if I said that I was not worried about this as her collarbone is dangerously close to her windpipe and that scares me and the doctors as well but the say that they have it under control! So I put my trust in the medical people and cross my fingers for good things to happen, being a Atheist I couldn't very well pray, not only would that be hypocritical but a waste of time, things will go as the are supposed to and I have to believe that even amongst all of my fears of something bad happening to my sweetie that she will be just fine tomorrow!

Warming Up again

Summer is here and it is Superbike and golf season again, actually here in socal it is All things all of the time and every season is year round here, compliments of our incredible weather.

Hoping to get back into the 80's again with my golf score and continue kicking ass on the superbike chasing Prozac around southern california on the GSXR and crewin it up with the boys from the crew! Yes it is going to be a break through summer here in the Nard. Good times ahead, busy schedules, healthy lifestyles and much goodness to look forward to, more of the same for next yea too!

Disrespected and Betrayed Again!

Our 16 year old who transferred high schools thinking he was going to play Football has already been told he was ineligible per CIF high school rules, but yet he wants us to fraudulently sign a court paper saying that he lives with his dad in order to play. We said we would not lie and would not sign anything. He now wants to go to the courts and plead his case that he is living with his dad. How do you convince a kid that wrong is wrong and rules were set up so that kids don't transfer every season to play at a particular high school with programs that are better than their current school at a given sport. Once again the narcissistic side of this kid comes out and he's playing the victim role when in fact cannot take responsibility for the lack of forethought in his decision and wants us to lie to make his bad decision a good one for him. We have too much integrity and especially with his betrayal to his mother and I will never sanction anything for his benefit again, it's called biting the hand that feeds you and shitting where you sleep. We don't lay that backdoor , deceitful crap and feel ashamed that our lessons went unwatched and un-heeded, too bad, the boy has lost his only ally. Too bad so sad, can't help those who choose not to take the best gifts in life that are given for free.... Integrity, wisdom and Honesty!

Lifestyle Change of Getting Healthy!

today was the first day to try to get back in shape and lose weight and get healthy. My wife , sister and brother in law are taking a New York trip next March and made a bet of weight loss and health status by the time our trip kicks off. Wife and sister proclaim 40 lbs each ,brother in law 25 lbs and I will lose minimum of 60 lbs and will try for more, but am sure 60 will be managable. I go to the gym religiously and will have a goal in mind and that the bright lights of new york and being healthy are all the stimulation I will need. Today was the first day of eating right and staying active at the gym. Having been down this road before at a much younger age I will need to be uber disciplined and know that the body metabolic meter is turned to the low settings and that I have to jump start my system with ,the right foods, plenty of water and an exercise regiment of Cardio and intense resistance training and a circuit of high reps ,low weights at the gym. The gym s the easy part, the worktime potlucks and the family BBQ's will be the hardest thing to resist, that and the fact that my specialties are cooking and baking, fllowed by testing said cooked products. This will be a battle, but it is a battle that I am willing to work towards and sacrifice my cravings for the bettermentof my health. So come 8 months from now I will have a good story to tell and a better feeling of health and a spring in my step that has been missing for a long time. Here's to lifestyle changes and and a re-directed positive energy!!
